Maybe, just occasionally, sure, but when I challenged you on this wrt to Milne, you linked to a Pilger article, ignored requests for examples from Milne, and then continued with the same spiel over numerous threads - the example you cite here is shaky as well.

Regardless, can you see how this reflexive response is an inadequate approach to dealing with these criticisms?

OK, I went off on one about Pilger when you asked me about Milne, granted - but in this case, I said Chomsky had said Russia was not engaging in imperialism in Syria, Corpsey asked me for a source I posted a video of the guy saying literally those actual words.
